cyclostereoscope

[P3D Larry Berlin <lberlin@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

Someone recently was asking for information on the cyclostereoscope marketed
by A. Mattey of Paris. I found the following reference in an excellent
discussion of the whole topic of stereoscopic imaging. The specific URL is
http://www.stereospace.com/ietppr.html

The following pertinent quote is from a web page titled:

STEREOSCOPIC IMAGING TECHNOLOGY

 by   MICHAEL STARKS of 3DTV Corporation

>In this technique, one or more vertical slits are rapidly scanned in the
horizontal direction and the appearance of the image points on
>the screen behind are timed precisely so that a viewer at any position will
see a stereo image. Noaillon(US1772782, 2198678) created a
>device composed of a conical arrangement of slats which was rotated rapidly
between the viewers and the screen on which were projected
>3D movies. Subsequent improvements were made by Savoye(US 2421393) and
others(Jennings and Vanet) and Savoye's version was
>shown to audiences of 90 persons at Luna Park in Paris after WWII. A
smaller system was sold by A. Mattey of Paris for home use.
>Versions of this "cyclostereoscope" were recently reconstructed by
Australian enthusiast R. Blum(Blum) and by French stereo equipment
>designer Claude Tailleur.
